1 John 1:7(NIV)
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies
us from all sin.
I received a letter from a man in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He said that, until our Charlotte Crusade, he was filled with hatred,
bitterness, and prejudice toward people of another race. He had joined one of
the extremist organizations and was on the verge of engaging in violence. Out
of curiosity he came to the meetings, and one night he was gloriously
converted. He said, “All bitterness, hatred, malice, and prejudice immediately
left me. I found myself in the counseling room sitting beside a person of another
race. Through my tears I gripped the hand of this man, whom a few hours before
I would have detested. My racial problem has been solved. I now find that I
love all men regardless of the color of their skin.”
Only Christ can solve the complicated racial problem that is
facing the world today. Until people of all races come to accept Christ as
Savior, they do not have the ability to love each other. Christ can give
supernatural love, which enables you to love even those whom you otherwise
could not love.
Thought for today:
Do I place my character defects on the altar?
